Dr. Umar Johnson is not afraid of controversy. He is going hard in this video, explaining some of the problems in the black community. His words are going to make some people mad, but he’s a therapist and is committed to the black community. Maybe he deserves to be listened to.

Dr. Johnson represents an on-going debate in the black community about whether people want to follow the trends of white liberals, who are telling black people that they are not accepting enough of the gay lifestyle, or whether black people want to set their own beliefs based on their experiences. Homosexuality occurs in every culture, but black children are more likely to be abused, more likely to not have fathers and more likely to end up in prison than white kids are. So, a black child growing into a gay man is not the same process as it might be if he were white.

Dr. Johnson also speaks about partial custody parents who do everything in their power to undermine the relationship that the child has with the parent who doesn’t live in the home. He says that some mothers actually “psychologically cαstrate their sons and then wonder why they turn gay later on. You may not agree with what he’s saying, but you cannot deny that this is a serious problem in the black community and that white liberals are not the ones who are going to solve it for us.

Listen to his words and tell us what you think. The conversation is deep.
